Product Description

$ 18.00 USD

This collection of essays by Robert Funk delves into the contributions of notable artists and intellectuals, including Kafka, Beckett, Henry Miller, Castaneda, Fowles, and Thoreau, to illuminate the true successors of Jesus. In the section titled 'Voices of Silence,' Funk examines the interplay between language and contemporary reality. He ultimately addresses the pivotal theological question of whether individuals can identify a genuine world to which they can fully commit, offering twenty-one propositions on theology in response.

Robert W. Funk, Bernard Brandon Scott, and James R. Butts In this concise and readable introduction to the parables of Jesus for all readers, Fellows of the Jesus Seminar review the authenticity of all gospel versions of the thirty-three parables attributed to Jesus. Individual versions of each parable are color coded—red, pink, gray or black—to illustrate the voting results and grouped together for easy reference and comparison.
